Well, not troubled.  But certainly water.

Dad's property has a couple beavers on it, they've dammed up a good portion of it.  He keeps it flowing and I help when I get up there.

On the main dam is a cut through for the water as it's just too big for a pipe.  We've idly talked about building a bridge over it in order to access the other half of the property with trucks and whatever vehicles we might want to head over

Anyone have any thoughts as to how best to accomplish this?  I keep wondering how expensive I-beams are, maybe with some concrete footers at either end?

From level to level is probably a 10 ft span, but shore to shore is maybe 4-5 feet.  Gonna want it tall though as the wood you see here gets washed downstream once a year at a minimum in a heavy rain.

As a reference for how high the water can get, these are taken the same day, I just opened a hole in the dam

I'll see if I have a wider shot of the crossing
